PAN-ROASTED FISH FILLETS WITH HERB BUTTER
A blast of heat in a cast-iron pan and a basting of golden butter does wonders for plain fish fillets. This life-changing method is adopted from a former chef and current fishmonger, Mark Usewicz of Mermaid's Garden in Brooklyn, who also teaches cooking classes in topics like "How to Cook Fish in a New York City Apartment." The cooking time is so short that the smell - which, if your fish is fresh and not funky, should not be overpowering - will dissipate quickly. And in the meantime, you have an easy dinner of tender fish with a toothsome crust, anointed with nutty, lemony brown butter and perfumed with herbs. You can use virtually any fish fillet, skin on or off, as long as it is not too thick. If the butter is browning too fast, reduce the heat and add a nut of cold butter to prevent scorching, or squeeze in the juice of half a lemon.

Steps:
- Pat fillets dry with a paper towel. Season on both sides with salt and pepper.
- Heat a heavy 10-inch nonstick or cast-iron skillet over high heat. When the pan is hot, add the oil. Place the fillets in the pan, skin side down (if applicable), laying them down away from your body. If fillets have skin, press down gently with a spatula for about 20 seconds to prevent curling.
- Lower heat to medium and let sizzle until fish is golden and caramelized around edges, about 2 to 3 minutes. Carefully flip fillets and add butter and thyme to pan. Tilt pan slightly to let the melted butter pool at one end. Use a spoon to baste the fish with the pooled butter. Continue basting until golden all over and cooked through, 45 to 90 seconds more, depending on the thickness of your fish. Serve immediately with chopped parsley (if using) and lemon wedges.

Steps:
- Mix cornstarch and herbs in a bowl, set aside.
- Whisk eggs with milk and cayenne until a butter-yellow color is achieved. Set aside.
- Dip each fish fillet half in egg mixture, let excess drip off. Then coat in cornstarch mix. Set on plates so they do not stick together.
- Melt about 1/2 a Tbsp of butter in a large skillet. Add 5 or 6 fillet halves. Add butter as needed to keep the coating from drying out.
- Cook until a deep golden color is achieved and fish is cooked through. It should flake easily.
- Enjoy!

- Pick Your Fish. Not all fish was made for frying. You're going to want to go with more of a neutral-flavored fish that isn't overly oily — most types of white fish will do.
- Prep the Fish. One pound of skinless fillets, or four 4-ounce skinless fillets, (about ½-inch thick) is the perfect amount for serving a family of four.
- Make the Breading. Here's where you can really get creative! We're going to be following Jeannie's Kickin' Fried Fish recipe, but feel free to omit, add, or replace ingredients as you wish.
- Coat the Fish. Next, dip each fillet into the egg mixture, and then gently press it into the crumb mixture on both sides. Transfer the coated fillets onto a plate and refrigerate for about 15 minutes to help the crumbs set.
- Fry the Fish. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F — you'll see why in a second. Heat 1 ½ teaspoons olive oil and 2 teaspoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat (cast iron is best since it heats evenly and gives you an even, crispy crust).
